Mach Flurry (Fighter 34 / Harper 5 / Monk 1)
Overview:
Face it, the primary tank targets are the critical immune enemies, so how to deal with them? We strike again, and again and again.
- Tanking 7.5/10 - Great AC potential (monk splash dexter), epic dodge, second conceal, uni stats, good immunities between fighter secret and harper secret, once per day self immute, great saves.
- Dps 8/10 - Reasonable physical damage (Wheat stone & weapon spec & str 40+), two weapon types (kama and nunchakus), many attacks per round (9, 11 or even 12 depending on circumstances) & Listen skill.
- Misc. Utility 2.5/10: Can help the party with physical vulnerability infliction on improved whirlwind. Might have UMD and pick pocket (need to figure out ranks)
Requirements:
Zenythri subrace
Crucible of Moliation
Lots of monk weapons

Uni-like stats Base Str 26 Dex 44 at 60

Just adequate AB (No disarm or KD)
Not so great Hitpoints (about 1000's)
You might run out of harper boots (if you die twice)
Monk AC takes some time to grow (demihood and other bonuses)
No Overwhelming/Devastating criticals (monk weapons are terrible for it anyway)
Need lots of weapons (dual wielder)

Ref: 6 +23/dex = 29 -> 64
Will: 6 +10/wis +8/feat = 24 -> 59
Gear guidelines:
Armors: Robes of the Dim mak master are good for the will bonus, skill bonuses and overall usability.
Pandect: Craft Armor/Weapon pandect - either one will help you achieve a better bonus
Usable Artifact: Most people would advise the Con arty, due it's powerful poison immunity.
I'd pick Dexterity artifact, to help with ab & ac.
Recommended Strategies:
Improved Whirlwind:
To use it, you'll will trade a lot of hits.
While the duration is low (2 rounds) the -15% physical immunity over a long radius can be quite useful depending on how many tanks/soups are targeting your foes.
Greater Parry:
It's a self Immute use it if you see a nasty random on your direction or to prevent dyeing again after a rez.
